Here is the beautiful Renata Litvinova - an icon of style. Here is a beautiful Posner - an icon of himself. It is unpleasant for Litvinova to look at an “amputee” (quote) on the dance floor, because it is not very stylish, not very aesthetically pleasing. It is unpleasant for Posner that a man without a leg went out to fight for his "minute of glory" with a clear advantage - counting on mercy.
Posner for the purity of the genre, he is always "above the fray", he is always "independent". True, for some reason he forgets about it in his own program. He also does not like the sight of a dancing one-legged man.
For some reason, at that moment I thought about many thousands of other "amputees". They know what country they live in, don't they? I do not mean medicine, not the state. Neighbors, passers-by on the streets, passengers in trams.
They, too, like Litvinova and Pozner, are unpleasant to see these "amputees" around them. They need to give way. They must be passed forward, sometimes translated across the road. Go to the store for them. Help getting dressed or undressed. They just need to smile - that is, to do things that are unnatural for many Russians.

I imagined all these people without legs, without arms ... And not everyone finds the strength in themselves not only to dance - just to go out into the street. Society instills shame in them for what happened to them. Not their fault. Litvinov brings up shame. Posner brings up shame. And even those few who tried to spit on this silent condemnation for "amputation", who tried to fight for themselves in their country against all odds, after watching this "show" ... well, just pour 100 grams. And then more.
What to fight for, even if people from TV - these spiritualized, wise icons of style and themselves, can humiliate you all over the country and shame you for "amputation".
A few years ago I made a film about ballroom dancing. And I had a heroine there, well over 60 years of age. Her wrinkles and heavy makeup did not look very aesthetically pleasing. But dancing saved her life. They brought her back to life. The day before, her only daughter had died. And she was able to survive this grief only thanks to the parquet. She married a partner, they opened an evening fashion store together. She always shone on the floor. And in their category "grand seigneurs" they were invariably the first.
And Litvinova and Posner are just bl***. Down and out cynical bl***. And I'm almost certainly sure, not at all because they really think what they say. They knew it was going to be a mega show. Mega scandal. I don't believe in improvisation.
They had seen this performance before, he prepared. The whole team of the show - at least the editor and the main director - knew where the so-called "tension point" would be. All this is calculated in advance. And it is planned. You know all these artificial reactions - open mouths, raised eyebrows, these "goof," right? All this is a product of directing. And this, too, is a product of directing. It would be better if they gasped and groaned with delight.
And for ordinary viewers, everything looks like this is a sincere emotion. I congratulate Channel One. The show succeeded. Now everyone is talking about it.
After recording, everyone dispersed, pleased with themselves. Everyone has done their part to make the show watched. The amputee was simply rubbed against the parquet. And then someone will sell me, if not for Putin, Ernst and the entire channel would make completely different content ... Putin is all of you, everyone who is involved in this abomination. All who are not ashamed of it.
Another scandal erupted on the TV show "Minute of Glory". The show was performed by a professional dancer Yevgeny Smirnov, who does not have one leg. The dance duet of Evgeny and Alena Shcheneva touched the audience. But the jury was very tough. So, Renata Litvinova advised the dancer to fasten the second leg so that the disability would not be so conspicuous.
I know that in our country it is difficult to be an amputee. Excuse me for calling you that, but in our country the minimum has been done for people like you. This is the main reason that you should stay on this project. About the forbidden trick - maybe you should fasten the second leg, it may not be so obviously absent ...
I am one of the unloved of the public, so I will continue on this path. First, I admire you absolutely. But, it seems to me, there are forbidden tricks: when a person goes out, like you, without a leg, it is impossible to say no. This is a kind of feat, a person was able to overcome what few can overcome. And this, in my opinion, is the forbidden reception. It hurts me when art uses such techniques. I am delighted, but I will vote against.
Yevgeny Smirnov himself admitted that he was offended to hear such words, and believes that Pozner and Litvinova should not be on the jury.
In contact withFirst, I am very sorry. All of Russia heard these words. And in general, to hear these remarks in your direction, an amputee, not an amputee, what's the difference! I came to show what I can do, and they tell me something like “go fasten your leg, and only then dance.” In general, I was given a clear understanding that there is nothing to do here without a leg. I do not think that the jury should be people who allow themselves to say such things. This is humiliating even for Litvinova herself.
Eugene lost his leg after an accident: he was hit by a car while riding a moped. Because of unscrupulous doctors, he developed gas gangrene. Only thanks to dancing, Eugene was able to find the strength to live on: "I dance as I live."
The scandal on the TV show caused a great public outcry. Producer Sergei Evdokimov came to the conclusion that the rhetoric of television refereeing is more reminiscent of Stalin's troikas.
This and the lack of empathy are the main problems of Russian TV at the moment. All over the world, talent shows are conceived as projects that are designed to support the national spirit and personal initiative, to show that if you work on yourself, then dreams come true, that we are all people and are ready to help and support each other at any moment, no matter Are you a star or not? Remembering a sobbing child against the background of a dazzlingly cold Renata Litvinova or a one-legged dancer against the background of a frowning Pozner, or the former children's ombudsman Astakhov, who asked a girl who almost drowned in a Karelian lake if they swam well, you understand that something went wrong with us.
Previously, the jury of the show "Minute of Glory" 8-year-old participant to tears because she sang Zemfira's too "adult" song. No one even tried to calm the girl down.
On the show "Moment of glory" a new scandal erupted. The jury members sharply criticized the performance of the dancer without a leg Evgenia Smirnova. Vladimir Pozner stated that the disabled participant, having entered the stage without a prosthesis, was trying to arouse the pity of the judges, and not impress them with his number. BUT Renata Litvinova called the man an “amputee” and advised him to “fasten the prosthesis.” “I know that it is difficult for an amputee to live in our country. This is probably the main reason why you should be in the project. Maybe you should buckle up the second one? She might not be so obviously absent, could she? In order not to exploit this topic, ”said the actress.
The management of Channel One reacted to the public hype surrounding the incorrect statements of the jury members and fired the employee of the directorate of music and entertainment programs, who was preparing the show for broadcast. However, viewers considered this decision unfair. According to many fans of the program, it was worth dismissing those members of the jury who allowed themselves to speak incorrectly about Yevgeny, and not the ordinary employee who aired this number.
The dancer without a leg himself expressed his point of view on this case, who said that Litvinova, who allowed herself rather contemptuous comments about him, should be removed from the show. “I don't think the employee should have been fired. Yes, it was unpleasant that this was shown to the whole country, but nevertheless it was told to me by Litvinova. And if it caused such a resonance, then why is she still sitting there? I believe that it should not be there, ”the Life.ru portal quotes Yevgeny.
In addition, Posner commented on the current situation. According to him, he does not regret a single word he said during Smirnov's speech. “Everything that has been said has been said in the most general sense. The integration of disabled people into society is quite another. It's wheelchair-friendly public transport, it's ramps, it's big elevators in apartment buildings, it's proper public toilets, it's getting children with Down syndrome into mainstream schools, it's ramps on every city corner without exception. The question is absolutely not in participation in excessive competitions. Let's not be hypocrites: people with physical disabilities cannot compete on equal terms with those who do not have these problems when it comes to physical strength, agility, speed. They can sing, draw, play musical instruments, and much more, but where physical effort is required (sports, dancing), they are obviously weaker, ”said Vladimir.
The scandal on the show "Minute of Glory" because of the criticism of the jury of the eight-year-old Vika Starikova has not yet subsided, but the new edition of the All-Russian talent show has only added fuel to the fire. Before the judges represented by Renata Litvinova, Vladimir Pozner, Sergei Svetlakov and Sergei Yursky, the dancer Evgeny Smirnov and his partner Alena Shchemina appeared. According to Yevgeny, after a car accident, his leg was amputated, but he did not stop dancing and now inspires people with disabilities throughout Russia. Nevertheless, the jury of the "Minute of Glory" did not appreciate the couple's performance.
I am one of the unloved of the public and will go further along this path, ”said Vladimir Pozner. - There are forbidden tricks: when a person goes out, like you, without a leg, it is impossible to say no. On the one hand, this is a great feat, a person was able to overcome what others cannot overcome. On the other hand, it really hurts me that such techniques are used in art. I, of course, admire, but I will vote against.
Posner's words caused a disapproving buzz in the auditorium, but the next word was given to Litvinova, who even suggested that the dancer get another leg.
I know that it is difficult for an amputee to live in our country,” Litvinova said. - Probably, this is the main reason why you should be in the project. Maybe you should buckle up the second one? She might not be so obviously absent, could she? Not to exploit this topic.
The young man, who was shocked and annoyed by the actress' proposal, immediately refused to dance with an artificial limb.
I, of course, apologize, I do not exploit anything, - Evgeny replied. - I was a dancer in my life, and if there are any additional elements, then this will just be a trick. I dance the way I live!
For the participant, as in the case of Vika Starikova, Sergey Svetlakov stood up:
Wait, he didn't come on stage and say, "Give me a close-up of what happened to me." Now we have seen a real, held number. He did what many of us with two legs can't do.
By the way, Evgeny Smirnov has already appeared on Russian television: last year, the dancer conquered the jury of the show "Dances" on TNT, forcing the judges and the audience to applaud standing.
Stories of Talented People with Disabilities

The Internet is in full swing: fans of the show “Minute of Glory” cannot forgive Renata Litvinova for the cruel treatment of one of the participants in the program, dancer Yevgeny Smirnov ... The guy is dancing in defiance of fate. After the accident, he, the champion of Russia in breakdancing, had his leg amputated above the knee. But Zhenya found the strength to start dancing again, even on one leg, and soon became a member of the popular TV program "Dancing" on TNT, and then music producer Maxim Fadeev noticed him and invited him to star in the video. Inspired by the success, the young man went to the “Minute of Glory”, performed beautifully and heard from Renata Litvinova the advice to “fasten your leg”, because, in her opinion, you should not present yourself to the audience as an amputee ...
How it all began
Artist and artistic director of the Theater of Nations Yevgeny Mironov is one of the trustees of the Life in Motion Foundation. And he knows the whole history of its creation.
“It all started with Sasha Shulchev, a boy from a boarding school,” Mironov said. He was born without legs, and his parents abandoned him. We learned about him when Sasha was already 15 years old. An adult guy, a personality… And we tried to help. They collected money. And the world-famous surgeon performed an operation so that Sasha could use prostheses. Together we went through everything that happens in such cases - pain, failure of the first steps, falls ... But it was all worth going through. Sasha got to his feet. And we all realized that we had witnessed a miracle. And we arranged it ourselves - without any magic, with our participation alone. And then there was a holiday, a celebration. And Sasha invited one of the founders of the foundation, Natasha Shaginyan, to dance... So our program “I Want to Walk” began with Sasha’s story, which became one of the most important programs in our foundation. “I want to walk” is a dream to get on my feet, take the first independent steps, enter adulthood. And dreams come true if there are caring adults next to these guys... Now, for the fourth year now, on the stage of the Theater of Nations, we are holding a charity concert "Life in Motion" - with the support of the "Artist" Foundation and its annual action "Artists for Children". This is a special event. Well-known artists and guys who only reveal their resources enter the stage. It is here that any person can understand that the possibilities of each of us are endless.
Of course, Zhenya will not be discouraged by his friends, fans, colleagues in the dance group and other artists - those of them who help children with disabilities founded the Life in Motion Foundation, developed a direction that they called: “ I want to walk." At the concert organized by this foundation, Zhenya was the highlight of the program - the audience gave him a standing ovation. As, however, to other participants, who showed by their example that everything is possible if there is a dream and people who believe in you.
I want to walk!
Evgeny Mironov, Anatoly Bely, Yulia Peresild, Irina Pegova told the stories of the Foundation's wards, whose dreams have already come true. All of them are extraordinary. A film can be made about every boy or girl ... Yes, there will be a place for grief and despair in it, but the ending of this film is happy. After all, everyone realized the biggest dream: got on his feet and took the first steps. Yes, he stood up! I got on a bike, went rollerblading, started playing football! ..
Polina is waiting for the summer to learn how to ride a bike.
“I am 15 years old, I have long set a goal for myself to become an illustrator,” shared Polina, a participant in the concert. - I dream of moving to St. Petersburg and enrolling in an art university. And I would like everyone in this world to be happy. Yes, I still want to ride a bike. I had a prosthesis, but one with which this dream cannot be realized ... And now I had an operation in America, they put a new prosthesis. And dad immediately promised that he would buy me a bike - now I can definitely ride! We all have bicycles at home, and now I will too. And we will ride together! I am glad that today I was at the Life in Motion concert. It is charitable, perhaps we will help someone else ... And here I met amazing guys - Danya Pluzhnikov from the show “Voice. Children ", with the Hero from the" Blue Bird ". They are cool!
running to school
And the foundation also put on his feet a boy from a distant Chechen village, who did not even go to school, because it is far away, and it was not possible to take him. And all this time he dreamed of being close to his friends: “My name is Rahman, I am ten years old. I really wanted to walk on my own, play hide and seek, and play football with other children. And I dreamed of learning to roller skate ... "
Julia Peresild talked with the participants of the concert and backstage.
And all this came true thanks to the help of the Life in Motion Foundation. Rahman underwent a complex operation in America and after that a light and comfortable prosthesis was designed.
- And we also have a little boy Prosha, he is only five years old, - added Yevgeny Mironov. - He could not be at our concert, because he has a regimen, he is already sleeping at this time. He always dreamed of a red motorcycle, and now he has it. And after the operation, he can walk and even run on his own. Mom already taught him! Of course, our foundation cannot solve all the problems, but we can draw the attention of the people of our country to the fact that such a problem exists. And we can say: we need to try to do something for families where there are such problems. It happens that one of the neighbors has such a problem, but they are embarrassed to talk about it, ask for help ... So, we urge you: do not be shy! Ask for help, come to our stage. All these guys are very talented people! We are proud of each of them. Thanks to them, I realized: if God created a physical limitation, it gives great inner wealth!
Stars
Eminent stars and children who have long dreamed of entering the big stage performed at the charity concert. And here they are on it! The audience has already fallen in love with singers Daniil Pluzhnikov, Hera Aristova, dancer Evgeny Smirnov. Zhenya is from Krasnodar, he lost his leg in a car accident. At the concert, Zhenya performed together with the famous dance group from Tomsk "Yudi". Not so long ago, the artists took part in the legendary foreign show "Britain's Got Talent" and even became finalists, declaring themselves to the whole world! And Eugene did not get lost in the stellar team, on one leg he performed incredible tricks and dance moves to the applause of the audience. He himself does not consider himself doing something heroic. After all, even before the accident, he was a famous dancer - the champion of Russia in breakdance. Yes, there was a possibility that after a tragic incident his life would change radically and he would become a person who was deprived of his favorite pastime... The guy tried to dance with a prosthesis, but it was so heavy that it was impossible to keep his balance during the dance... And then he went out on stage on one leg. And he began to dance! And not at all in order to arouse pity, but to show that dreams come true if there are people who believe in you.
Behind the scenes
After the concert, the participants were ordered pizza. And while they were eating treats together, the journalists of the news agency "Stolitsa" asked them about their immediate plans and what the stage gives them.
Daniil Pluzhnikov, winner of the TV show “Voice. Children":
“Such concerts are a great good deed. After all, they provide an opportunity to help those who need it. For some this may be a reminder. After all, people may simply not know that now someone is hard and bad. And when people with disabilities enter the stage, this is also an example of the fact that even children have the strength of mind, and they have a lot to learn...
Gera Aristova, Blue Bird finalist:
- And for me, such concerts are another step towards my dream. And I dream of singing at the Bolshoi Theatre. And I also want to help people with disabilities so that their dreams come true. I'm doing a lot, I'm learning to sing professionally. I have a teacher who prepared me for the Blue Bird competition - Natalya Dmitrievna Trikhleb. She is strict, which is very good. You can’t lisp with us children - nothing good will come of it. But she believes in me, and this is the most important thing!
The musician Aleksey Romanov stayed a little apart from the singers. He came to the concert and Kazan. Alyosha did the impossible: having a special structure of his hands, he independently learned to play the piano...

“The concert is excellent,” Alyosha said. — I played my favorite work by the Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi. In general, I have many favorite works, including large-scale ones - six pages long, for example. I can play without stopping for seven minutes. Now I am learning a complex Tatar composition - I live in Kazan. I study at a music school. But I didn't get there right away. At first, I tried to learn how to play the piano myself, since since childhood I had a passion for the instrument. I just pressed the keys, then I began to pick up melodies by ear, then my friends began to help, who had already learned something at the music school. None of them said: "Why do you need this, it's impossible!" Everyone wanted to help me. One complex composition was so dismantled that I could even perform with an orchestra. Well, when I already knew how to do something, the music school had to give up, take me to study. We can say that she gave up last! (Laughs.) And now I'm trying really hard. There are, of course, jambs - where without them ... But I'm happy that I'm doing what I love ...
At parting, the artists of the Life in Motion concert exchanged addresses and telephone numbers, joked and laughed. We agreed to share the news with each other. And meet, be sure to meet.
